I am trying to get my head around this issue. I read Mr. Murphy's submission, which indicated that anybody who indicates that the high organ donation and transplant system is not working is simply wrong and misinformed. He also spoke about an organ donor registry. Why would people register if they do not carry a card? Why is Mr. Murphy so convinced that if people do not have a card, they will still go on the organ donor registry?
We do not always carry the cards. My children signed them years ago but I do not know where they are. I may change my handbag every week and I may not know where my driving licence or card are.
